Alien conspiracy site UFO Sightings Daily says that an skeleton remains of a creature on Mars can be seen on this photo taken by the Mars rover Curiosity. The photo zoomed in on the "skeletal remains"

It's the latest in a string of fossilized animals and other unexplained phenomena that bloggers have reported.

These sightings include an iguana, a cat, a dinosaur spine, two dinosaurs, a mysterious light, a toy boat, a half-human and half-goat face and a rock that popped up from one image to the next when the rover wasn't on the move (see all the photos above). NASA itself was initially puzzled by that one but determined the rock changed position when the rover turned in place and pushed the rock.

Curiosity has been on Mars since Aug. 6, 2012. It completed its first Martian year -- 687 Earth days -- on June 24.
